Involvement of <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA</i> Genotype in Treatment Outcome Following Non‐Surgical Periodontal Therapy

Abstract

BOP in initially type I positive sites showed little improvement with treatment, and the combined persistence of fimA type I and T. forsythensis seemed to be involved in this poor treatment outcome. The present study demonstrated the potential of P. gingivalis fimA type I as a predictor of persistent BOP after treatment.
